HOME OPENER- vs. Coquitlam Adanacs

Depending on the goal for this game, it was either a success or an almost success! For those of us rookies who were just trying to not mess up, not get killed and learn how to put everything that our amazing coaches and teammates have taught us so far, it was a success. We didn’t actually win the game but a 3-1 loss to start the season isn’t too shabby!

After a successful fund raiser the night before, the Women’s Salmonbellies donned their shiny red jerseys and new team shorts for this first game vs. the winners of last year’s season, the Coquitlam Adanacs.

Heather Kwok, played her very first game as goalie after playing 3 seasons as a runner for the Bellies. Standing on her head, she had a fantastic game, blocking shots and remaining solid throughout! We are so proud of her decision to step into the net!

Krista Lee, sponsored by Sapperton Sports Massage Therapy, scored the only goal for the Bellies, all the while keeping an eye on her own future lacrosse superstars who were cheering on mom from the stands! Lauren Shima, sponsored by Next Level Games, helped out with the assist.

Shout out to the girls on the power play, who were on back to back shifts after a few tough hits from the Coquitlam side.

Next game is Thursday night at Queen’s Park Arena @ 7:00pm when the Women’s Bellies take on the Maple Ridge Burrards! We are excited to keep learning and improving and moving forward into our most successful season!
